Parallax background Hero using HTML and CSS

Share your love

In the realm of web design, capturing the attention of visitors and immersing them in a captivating digital experience is paramount. One powerful technique for achieving this is the use of parallax scrolling, where background elements move at a different speed than foreground elements, creating a sense of depth and immersion.

In this blog post, we’re embarking on a journey to craft an immersive parallax background hero using nothing but HTML and CSS. By harnessing the capabilities of these core web technologies, we’ll unlock the secrets to creating a visually stunning and engaging centerpiece for your website.

I would recommend you don’t just copy and paste the code, just look at the code and type by understanding it.
